Greta Thunberg responds to an apparent threat by U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham, who said the activists sailing to Gaza would need to "swim."
"It says a lot about their priorities that, in the face of genocide and systematic starvation of 2 million people, lawmakers … are focusing on mocking people."

Relieved at news of Mahmoud and Ahmad's release, though their house arrest and restrictions are another appalling government over reach: Bookselling is NOT A CRIME!
Solidarity continues to be needed as the case continues, and as the bookshop gets back on its feet.

Ahmad Muna was released earlier today, and Mahmoud Muna in the last hour - both under house arrest and other restrictive conditions, though the charges against them are obviously fabricated. Even the Israeli judge recognised that the police have no case. When will our complicit governments act?
